Hopkins knocked Bloomington Kennedy from the undefeated ranks at Minnetonka with a 40-30 victory today. Hopkins led for most of the contest with Kennedy's only lead coming at 14-13 in the first half. Hana Potter had 10 points to lead Hopkins. Brittany Zins led both teams with 15 points for the Eagles. Both teams are now 5-1 at Minnetonka.

Both teams were missing players. Hopkins' Jenna Lillemoe was out with an ankle injury. Kennedy's Aubrey Davis is out with mono and Alexis Holt is out recovering from her knee injury.

Hopkins started off the game with three straight lay ups, while Kennedy didn't strike until Zins knocked down a three on the fifth possession. Hopkins maintained their lead up to 11-9. A three by Campbell turned the lead over to Kennedy at 12-11. There were three straight lead changes. Potter scored to put Hopkins in the lead for good at 16-15. Kennedy had a five possession drought at that time. After working the clock down, Laura Bruce knocked down a shot to put the Royals up 22-17.

Kennedy cut the Hopkins lead to two twice early in the second half, but an inconsistent half court game and missed opportunities at the line prevented the Eagles from closing any further. After a Kennedy time out the Eagles scored on a Zins put back to make it 28-24. The rest of the way Hopkins outscored JFK 12-6. The Royals had a 6/7 offensive sequence with five different players contributing. Kennedy missed six points at the line in the closing 7 possessions.
